| Frederick Clowrey was born in the 3rd Quarter of 1919 and is believed to have been the son of Frederick Peter Clowrey (Senior) and Annie Clowrey (nee Meechin). There was an elder sister, Mary Clowrey, born in 1916. A torpedo attack was made on a Japanese merchant vessel off the north coast of Java. The attack was unsuccessful and the Commanding Officer (Lt. Peter Barnsley Marriott, DSO, RN) then surfaced for a gun action. Although several hits were made and the gun jammed at least once, the enemy counter attacked with gunfire and then attempted to ram. Stoic was dived to safety but unfortunately the gun trainer, Frederick was then found to be missing. It was assumed that he had accidentally been left on deck and lost overboard and either drowned or had been taken prisoner. |
